Try changing your conditions to (LEGACY_APPDATA) AND (WixUI_InstallMode = "InstallCustom" OR WixUI_InstallMode = "InstallTypical" OR WixUI_InstallMode = "InstallComplete") and (NOT LEGACY_APPDATA) AND (WixUI_InstallMode = "InstallCustom" OR WixUI_InstallMode = "InstallTypical" OR WixUI_InstallMode

Re: [WiX-users] problem with InstallExecuteSequence on Change option.

Sounds to me a lot like the symptoms of Component Rules violations. Are there any common files, registry keys, etc. between feature1 & feature2? If so have you duplicated the code for them? What's a verbose log show when you do the Change operation? Does it try to start the service & fail or does

Re: [WiX-users] Having to click twice to proceed.

I didn't expect that to help much to be honest. WiXUI_InstallMode isn't being set until you click the button the first time on the SetupTypeDlg as your logs & the SetupTypeDlg.wxs in the WiX sources will show. You need to remove the checking of the WiXUI_InstallMode property from the SetupTypeDlg

Later versions of the OS have resource protection that includes protected registry keys as well as system files, Windows Resource Protection. I can believe that if you deleted that key the OS would notice and restore it, just like it would a missing file. Phil _

Re: [WiX-users] How WiX resolve that file was changed when creates patch

MSI calculates the hash of data files and, if hash is different, patch will update the older file. However, that is only in the case that file creation and modification time&date are identical. When time & date are not identical, MSI assumes that file was touched by the user and won't patch it.
